For AAC professionals

Prepare a tool for real communication

Choosing an AAC system brings together an assessment of communication needs, language skills, access methods and the person’s environment. With AbilityMic you can prepare and adapt boards, vocabulary and app settings to an individual support plan.

Areas to agree together

  • Communication functions and the situations that matter to the person.
  • Vocabulary that makes own messages and taking part in conversation possible.
  • Layout and stable symbol positions.
  • Access by touch, switches, keyboard or other supported methods.
  • The role of family and communication partners in modelling and developing communication.
  • The scope of AI, preserving meaning and an accessible way to approve suggestions.

Information about app use

Statistics describe activity in the app, for example which tiles are chosen and which boards are used. Interpreting them takes into account the context of the conversation, access to the device and the partner’s support. Assessing communication relies on a broader picture of how the person functions.
